This is the page where we will be posting all the latest news about the Appian Way Aussies ~ please check back often to see what we've been doing in the show ring and in agility....

2007 was yet another great year for the dogs...........

Sera has had a great year in her first love; agility. She has earned four new titles plus her Novice Rally title. We are going to try to make it to ASCA nationals in Las Vegas next year. She had a blast! Sera will be bred to CH Calais Out Options of Carolina STDs HOF (Auggie). More information is on the "Litters" page

Mocha also has done well in agility with three new titles and two legs towards her Rally title. She loves obedience so well that she has finally convinced me to start doing some traditional obedience training with her, she might even convince me to let her compete in it.....Mocha just had her first litter with our Mario and has produced a beautiful bunch of black-tri babies.

Bella had her first litter of pups with some great results. She had a very flashy, intelligent litter with some beautiful markings and movement. She has finally re-grown her coat and started showing in the ring again this fall like she never left. She has finished her rally training and will make her début this November. Her daughter "Tori" out of Mario has started her conformation career with some impressive results and attention at only six months old.

Mario earned seven more AKC BOB titles with three new Group wins and a couple new ASCA points this year. He loves the show ring! He has started his agility & rally training with much success and should be ready for real competition in both venues this winter.

2006 was a good year for the Appian Way Aussies - Bella and Mario both finished their AKC conformation titles and both are ASCA pointed - Sera and Mocha both had good years in Agility.
